Christian Influence.


The influences which religion throws
around society are the only levers that
preserve it from decay. Prominent
members Of society may discard reli-
gion, but religion, in her charity, re-
pays them by civilizing and maintain
ing her benign influence around them,
without which they would soon fall
back into pristine sayagery, whence
Christianity alone rescued them. Take
the nations Of the world in which
Christianity is deEarred and fettered
and how do we find them? Mentally.
morally, and physically feeble, unable
to cope with CHRISTIAN countries in arts
or sciences, in commerce or modes of
living. When we hear men talk Of the
aEsurdity of religion we cannot help
thinking of the charity Of Christianity
that unconsciously or otherwise, has
elevated those same men from the ranks
of uncivilized creation and taught them
to lead the lives Of refined society in
stead Of grovelling in the misery Of
their ignorance, where they would be,
only for the clyilizing power Of the
Christian relig gion Church Progress.

WITHOUT WARNING.

Death Comes 10 Eight st. LOnisans
Through the Medium of a Mysterious
Explosion Four Others Seriously Hurt
Several Buildings Wrecked.
ST. LOUIS, Nov 1.-Three buildings were
wrecked, sixteen persons buried in burning
ruins. four of them hurt and eight of them
killed, by the explosion Of some unknown
but powerful explosive in Michael New
mans grocery store soon after
o'clock yesterday morning After the
explosion fire broke out in the
ruins adding it's horrors to the calamity
ResGuers were soon on the spot and the
hands of fremen and policemen were soon
tearing away the debris from about the i'm
prisoned people By daylight all had been
removed. The dead are:
Michael Newman, aged 50; Mrs. Annie New
man. aged 40; John Newman, aged IS; Kate
Newman. aged II; Eddie Newman, aged 49,;
Charles Devere, Mrs Charles Devere and Mrs.
Agnes Beasley.
The wounded:
Nellie Newman, may recover; Miss Hattie
Bryant, slightly hurt; Mamie Newman, re-
covery impossible, and Mrs. Bella Wilson,
slightly hurt.
The store wns on the corner of the alley
running through from Fourteenth to Tar
gee street, and was the north room OF the
building over Nos 7, 8 and II South Four
teenth street The building, a twO-story
brick, was completed but a short time ago,
and only one store was occupied All Of
the upstairs portion was divided
into tenements Mr. Newman and his
family of seven lived over the store. The
force of the explosion was terrific; the en-
tire block of buildings north of and across
the alley from the building in which the
explosion took place were Quilted by the
blast Two ladies, Newman's daughters, were
first removed Neither can survive. The rest
of the Newman family, five in number,
were dead Some sat upright and others
were doubled in their beds, killed III their
sleep
Besides those persons injured in this
building, were many persons in the neigh
borhood more or less cut or bruised, for
the flying splinters and bricks did not
alone destroy the Newman store. For
several blocks on either side of the streets
the conclusion shattered the windows and
in the immediate vicinety in the opposite
side OF the way the front of buildings were
smashed in by the terrible force, and scarce
ly window or q door remains. Walls
cracked, floors gave way and plaster fell in
almost every house within a radius of a
hundred yards.
There are many theories to explain the
cause of the explosion, but none are salts
factory The crowd that pressed around
the scene excitedly talked Of Anarchists
and dynamite, but men of sense
discountenanced this idle prattle. The
general belief is that es Gaping gas filed the
cellar, and that Mr.. Newman kept a
quantity of kerosene oil and gaso-
line in the cellar near where the explosion
evidently took place. The rapid fire and the
fumes while it burned indicate this The
vessels and the Oil, if there was
any, have been destroyed, and the
only man that knows is dead.

objected to the admission of the MUIR

mony, on the ground that he was of
msound mind when he made the state
ment his brain having suffered from
injury so as to render him incompe-

plea of the man who was on trial for
having murdered his father and
mother and who asked the clemency
of the court on the ground that he was
an orphan.

A TRAIN WRECKED.

A Rock Island Freight Train Strikes an
Obstruction-The Engineer and Fireman
Killed-The Affair Occurs Near NORRIS
ILL.,, and the Wreclzers Evidently tntend=
ed to Destroy the Kansas City Express:
MORRIS, ILL.,, Oct GA most diabofical
plot was laid nea1 this city early yesterday
morning to wreck the Kansas City pas
senger train on the Rock Island road The
Mreokers succeeded partially, but the
fated train was freight, and not
the heavily-loaded passenger train The
villains placed telegraph pole with the
butt-end toward the approaching train
on the track, and the .engine
and q dozen cars were piled in heap,
making a mound of broken timbers, car
wheels and freight The saddest part, how
ever, was that Engineer John Mills and
Fireman William Ortiz were both killed
outright. John Kane, head brakeman,
who was in the cab when the crash
came, saved. himself by jumping
out spraining his left ankle badly and re-
ceiving score of cuts and bruises from
flying pieces of timber. The men killed
both lived in Chicago, where they each have
a family On striking the obstruction
the engineer whistled for brakes, when
a flying missile struck him on the
head and laid him PROSTATE, and the
escaping steam hurried his awful death
The fireman was unable to Jump soon
enough, and when he did SO the first
car was pushed against him and he was
horribly mangled. His I5maines were
found under the fire-box u the loComo-
tive by the side of the. Ger, and We're SO
completely covered with debris that the
body was not found for nearly ON hour
after the accident The coroner's jury
is at work on the case. The train ex-
pected to have been wrecked was thirty
minutes late. Had it been on time. the
fate of the passengers would have been as
horrible as that of the victims OF the Chats
worth disaster, judging from the manner
in which the first five freight-cars, loaded
with brick, scrap-iron, paper-car wheels
and grain, were reduced to splinters
Excitement here over the wreck continues
to grow since it has been definitely ascer-
tanned tha6 the obstruction was placed on
the track with the deliberate purpose of
wrecking the passenger train. The excite
ment is augmented by the growing belief
that the Schwartz Watts express car muir
derers and robbers, and their friends
planned the crime. A reward of So, 600 has
already been offered by the Rock Island
Company, and detectives are on the ground
